Current Projects chat and miscellany

hi wharry, do you mind me asking which entrance to the roundabout it was? i had a similar accident there in May: cab + pedal = over the handlebars. rear ended, then almost run over. not nearly as bad as yours, but shitted me up all the same.. i was going west on old st, just after that classic car place. i've noticed ever since that the "cycle lane" on that entrance gets massively ignored by everyone, and could do with serious re-planning. maybe it's worth a shot trying to get it changed? anyway, hope you're ok. and shame about that amazing bike!

The long and the short of it is.. Got hit by a blaxi on Friday night coming onto old st roundabout, he got too close and my pedal clipped his front wheel, sucked me underneath, trailed along for a bit under his front wheel, leg was trapped for about 20 min, freed by the fire brigade, spent the night in casualty and walked out of the hospital with only a graze to my knee. I cant believe how lucky I am (minus the bike obv.. but rather it than my leg). The case is with the popo at the minute but to be honest I don't think there will be any proof of blame in either direction.
